    dock across the street!

    Dan & Silvia have the cutest shop! We have gone here every morning during our trip to Boothbay & definitely recommend if you're wanting some good coffee & yummy breakfast! Silvia is so talented, she makes all the signs, food, and drinks! We got the berry oats, veggie breakfast sandwhich, and coffee! We spun the wheel, such a cute touch! Heidi ordered drip coffee both days & I ordered oat milk lattes. We enjoyed it on the dock across the street :) Go to Red Cup if you're in the area, we loved it! - Heidi & Maddie

    Vegetable breakfast sandwich

    A beloved local place and must visit for any tourist, this is a walk up place for coffee and simple breakfast items. It was OK the coffee was fine but the breakfast sandwich was actually rather basic. Per person for a sandwich, beverage, and tip was $25. There's no seating but ample outdoor public seating, which is fine in good weather.

    Breakfast bagel: eggs, cheese, sausage, and choice of bagel. I go for cinnamon raisin to get the savory/sweet!

    My favorite breakfast sandwich in BBH: eggs, cheese, sausage, and a cinnamon raisin bagel. Delicious and hot every time. Good coffee. PRO TIP: order online at their website. Sometimes the order line gets really long. I put my order in and it's ready by the time I walk down there.

    Whenever I'm in the area, it's a must that I stop and enjoy the most charming spot in Boothbay Harbor, Maine: the Red Cup Coffeehouse. Today we order and split the Blueberry Cinnamon Bun and the Iced Salted Carmelita which were both super delicious and super fresh. A true taste of Maine at its finest. I appreciate their mission statement that their coffee is "Produced sustainably with regard to environmental impact, without the use of non-organic fertilizers and pesticides". Not only were the food beverages tasty, but they were served with so much pride and joy, that it was a pleasure to visit again - as briefly as it was. I especially love the outdoor window for quick service. Also - I give props to owner Paul Johnson for going along with my James the Great joke... Long live James the Great and his Iced Coffee Iced Salted Carmelita Two shots of espresso, sea salt, caramel syrup, and milk served over ice Red Cup Coffeehouse @redcupbbh 29 Commercial St, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

    Looks & taste like a microwaved egg gross!

    Ughhh $10 for microwaved egg sandwich?! There are around 5 egg sandwich options so I would avoid. They were nice so they get a star but won't be back. Get something else if you come here.

    The best freshest almond or chocolate croissants you'll ever have!!! Great coffee too!!! They also serve breakfast sandwiches, chowder and soups. It's a order and pickup at the window . No seating...

    We came here on a Saturday mid-morning and the place was BUSY. Despite the long queue winding through and around the full tables, the staff remained friendly and efficient through each transaction. When it was our turn, we didn't feel hurried at all! Grabbed a large cold brew, a croissant filled with nutella, and an almond croissant filled with marzipan. The coffee was great -- I wish there had been a pitcher of alternative milk available on the DIY area (with the lids, stirrers, and stuff), but there was only whole and 1/2 and 1/2. It seems soy or almond is a $1.00 upcharge (a bummer when you just want a splash for your iced coffee). I also wish that the area with baked goods had been labeled - I would have loved to have known what was what, and if anything was gf or vegan. Finally, it's such a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere but that leads to A LOT of big groups and strollers taking up floor space. Part of the confusion with the line was genuinely no one knew where it started or how to get to it because of the obstacle course the room had become. Overall, I did like this place though! I found it charming and was impressed with how the staff handled the never ending line of people. I'd probably come much earlier next time (also, skip the almond croissant and go directly for the nutella filled one -- #yourewelcome)!

    My coffee was fine but it cost over $10. The service was good but I don't think that it was worth the price.

    This is where we celebrated the anniversary of our 20 year marriage, and it was AWESOME !!! We…read moredined on their rustic patio, complete with twinkle lights and trees. We started with onion soup, which was OUTSTANDING !! It wasn't too salty, which is often an issue but not here. The broth was a perfect blend of onion and beef flavoring, just enough cheese and croutons but not overpowering... it was divine. It might've been the best I've ever had. We also got bread service that offered lightly grilled French bread. I don't know what the deal was, but it was so unbelievably tasty, and it was so soft, too. I don't know if it was the texture or the bread flavor, but something was different... that made it so amazing. Better than usual. I wanted to eat more, but I knew I was already getting full, so we left most of it. Drat. For an entree, my husband got the Atlantic salmon in a lobster veloute with farfalle and ratatouille. I tasted it, and it was excellent. Such great flavors. I got the cioppino, which had scallops, shrimp, and haddock in a herb-infused tomato sauce. I was a little shocked because it was spicy... good flavor, but spicy, and I wasn't expecting that. I wish the waitress would've told me ahead of time, but she didn't. I ended up not eating most of it because it was a bit too much for my palate. I hate wasting food, but the truth is I wouldn't have finished it anyway. I was already full from the onion soup and 1 piece of bread. For our celebratory dinner, we also split a dessert. I had read this place is known for their blueberry pie, which we were very interested in getting. Soooooooooo glad we did because it was EXCELLENT... and yes, it was a la mode... with vanilla ice cream. There was some crystalized sugar topping on the crust, which really added to the awesomeness of this dessert. We hit pay-dirt here. This meal was the highlight of our trip to Boothbay Harbor. I hope we will be able to return to this lovely harbor town because we will make a beeline to dine at Thistle Inn again. Too bad we live so far away. This is a wonderful dining establishment, and they made our 20th anniversary even more memorable !!

    My visit summed into one word would be "weird". The inside was empty at arrival time but it was…read morenice out so we sat outside. Our main waitress (Angie) seemed like she wanted to be nice but was bothered by something that was fighting through. She was a semi rude interaction with the table next to us that caught my attention but it wasn't me so I left it alone. Another staff had a rude interaction eye roll hand thing to a different customer during the time we were there but again it wasn't me. My son had two bites of the grilled cheese and said it was too burnt didn't want it. She came over to ask how it was we told her she offered to make another and that was it. Most places offer to takeoff menu but no big deal. When ordering the pretzel we said we didn't like beer sauce would only like the mustard. Well beer sauce came out was untouched and charged for. Ok not arguing for $3. Lastly still had our plates in front of us and instead of asking if we wanted any more drinks or dessert she starts ringing us up asking for card with total. I had to tell her I would like dessert which she typed in and then still asked for card. There were no drink refills offered throughout the entire meal as well. Maybe they focus on beers more than food but either way it ruined the experience for me. Service goes a long way and there definitely needs to be some additional training...The food was hit or miss. The pretzel was good depending on your taste for the sauces. The burnt ends flavor was really good but really fatty and not really burnt. The grilled cheese had potential but needed more butter and less time getting dark (or burnt). The steak sandwich was the winner of the day easily. The bbq pizza depending on the bite was either great or inedible. There was some type of rancid I'm assuming cheese sprinkled on top that was not listed that ruined it for me. It was almost like a garlic tart mixture of something. Again, the food hit or miss. The service was the same as well. Those combined made this review sadly this low.
